Mitigate ICD-10 impact
Impact analysis and monitoring to reduce financial impact.
ICD-10
The migration from ICD-9 to ICD-10 has forced the modification of many processes and policies, including benefits, provider contracting and medical management. Even after the transition date, organizations will need to continuously assess and manage financial and operational impacts in order to maintain neutrality. Analytics are the foundation for post transition risk mitigation planning and offer strategic insights into scaling adoption across lines of business.
Our Approach
Edifecs ICD-10 solutions and services allow organizations to embrace an iterative approach to analytics and remediation. Identify and quantify real-world risk both during the migration to ICD-10 and after the transition, using business intelligence tools.
Organizations then use their own data, standard and organization-specific ICD-9 to ICD-10 maps and MS- and APR-DRG groupers to compare results to better manage financial, operational and relationship risks.
